How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

Begonias can have issues with powdery mildew, bacterial leaf spot and vine weevils. To defend against bacterial infections, try to maintain good garden hygiene. Space the plants out adequately to allow for good air circulation so it does not become too crowded and humid within the leaves. Check leaves regularly for vine weevil infestations including small notches bitten into the leaves. Try to pick off as many as you can if you find them, including any larvae. You can also use specific nematodes that will target the vine weevils and cause them to die, if you notice a serious infestation.

Full sun to partial shade

Begonias can be grown successfully in full-sun to partial shade and can actually tolerate more shade than many popular bedding plants. It is best to avoid a south-facing position as too much sun can burn the leaves.

Fertile, well-draining soil

The best soil to use is a quality potting mix or garden compost which is filled with rich organic matter and drains water away easily.

No pruning required

An easy maintenance plant which doesn't need any pruning.
